I am the luckiest man in the world.. my girlfriend Ryann threw the BEST party anyone could have ever thrown anyone in the world on Saturday night.. and it was a complete suprise to me!! 

Actually, it wasn't even JUST the party.. I started the afternoon on a scavenger hunt that sent me for a massage, a brand new outfit, a haircut, a pedicure, a few drinks, and much more. 

Here's how I'm gonna do this.. because it would take FOREVER to type out everything that my Ryann did for me this weekend.. I'm gonna do it all as a podcast and then post some pictures below so you can see some of the stuff I'm talking about from the weekend.  So click here to listen to the podcast and follow along with the pictures below:

-The last stop on the scavenger hunt was at a bar on Park Avenue where I was met with all of my cousins!!  They're job was to suprise me and then bring me home where everyone else was waiting.  From left is my cousin's husband Chad, my cousins Stephanie, Megan, Emily, Emily's BF Kevin, myself, and my brother David:

-This is the table right at the entrance when you first walked into our house decorated with tons of pictures from my life:

-Here's a closeup of that poster board in the middle.  My mom made it.  It's so many pictures from my life and I couldn't even believe that she had all of these.  Such a sweet blast from the past:
